Maintenance cost reduction - reliability and predicative modelling

Dear Experts and users,
I am planning to use a combination of predicative modelling and FMEA process to first establish and then improve reliability of the equipment and components at customer premisses. Has any one done or heard about anything similar within a SAP environment. I've only seen especialist applications but since FMEA is now available with Enhancement Package 3 I would like to know whether or not this could be done within maybe APO
As an added twist, if such application is possible I would like to bring in all historical data already available within SAP to create a robust "baseline" of reliability and MTBUR (Mean time between unscheduled removal) of my components.
Any tips, suggestions and comments are welcome.
Cheers,
Rodrigo

Experts,
Does anyone there have any experience and/or feedback on how to do it?
Cheers,
Rodrigo

Is traversal calls neccessary in VCS maintenance cost?

Hi all,
I'm looking at a quote for a VCS control and pondering all the maintenance costs.
I can understand it for hardware and various software options but do I really need to pay maintenance for the non-traversal call licenses?
Is that strictly neccessary in order to get support and software upgrades for my units?
Cheers!
Jonas

Yes, you should purchase the maintenance for the complete product (VCS + all the licences).
Cisco could chose to not support your VCS if it was only partially covered by support and maintenance and didn't include coverage on all the installed licencing.
The same goes for TMS, and the additonal Device Licence packs - they incur an additional maintenance cost as well, and while you could just take out maintenance on just the base TMS product, if you're not paying for support for the complete product, Cisco could chose not to support it, or charge you for any time spent.
You'd have to check the fine details of the wording on the actual maintenance contract you sign up on.

Maintenance cost per production output

Dear All
I have to create report based on Maintaince cost per production output
and this report is company code wise and Fiscal year period wise ,
now i got two different cubes from where i can get that cost
1) 0PM_C01 for Maintenance Cost
2) 0PC_C01 or IC_C03 for Production output in tonnes

Hi,
If the selections used for the query are available in both the cubes,ie company code and fiscal year, then just create a multi cube over it containing both maintenance cost and production output. Map it to the correct fields from the cube and create a report with formula to calculate maintenance cost per production using maintenance cost from 0PM_C01 and production output from 0PC_C01 or IC_C03.

Where to buy my iPhone 5 from? I will be living in Canada for a while after 6 months. And returning to the UK regularly so I want an unlocked iPhone so I can use a local sim in Canada and a local sim in the UK to keep roaming costs down. But which model?

Where to buy my iPhone 5 from? I will be living in Canada for a while after the next 6 months. And returning to the UK regularly so I want an unlocked iPhone so I can use a local sim in Canada and a local sim in the UK to keep roaming costs down. But which model?
Thank you for you help in advance

If you buy an iPhone at the UK or Canadian Apple stores, it should work on the GSM frequencies in both countries. LTE will not work as the LTE channels are different in each country and each iPhone sold in each country is only compatible on LTE channels of that particular country. Other wise it should be fine.
Be aware that only the Apple store (retail or online) sells the unlocked iPhone in the UK. I think the situation is similar in Canada. (It is in the US).

Maintenance Cost Settlement on Profitability Segment

Hi, Can anyone tell me, that how can we settle our Maintenance Cost from PM to a Profit Center. In my company there is a Cost receiver defined as Profitability Segment and available in Settlement Rule. Can anyone explain, what does it mean. Are we settling out Maintenance Cost to profit Center directly or somewhere else.

Abhishek Sharma,
Yes, you can settle a Profit Segment.
Have a look at the Settlement Profile assigned to your order type (IMG: Maintain Settlement Profiles).

Maintenance Cost Budgeting

Hello,
I have created a maintenance Plan. the strategy is BPMWEK. Total of 52 weeks. I have inserted one operation in the task list which is assigned to the maintenance plan with time line of 2 hours.
When i do the maintenance cost planning using tcode IP31, the system is calculating total hours as 106 instead of 104(52 weeks * 2hours). Why is it so?

Narendra Bora

hi
i think you have scheduled the mainenance plan ,kindly check the number of call objects generated ,and compare the same with the works you have created

Cost Center and Cost Element Hierarchy and Actual Cost Center

In Bex - Right now I am displaying Cost Center and Cost Element hierarchy with 12 months of data. I want to display the actual Cost center number next to cost element hierarchy - Can I display in Bex?
Tried to with Structure creating formula variable for Cost Center using replacement path - didn't work. Can you please suggest me how i can achieve this?
The format should be
CostCenter H1 CostElement H1 CostCenter Jan Feb ...
Thanks in advance and appreciate for any help...

Let me explain it clearly and hope it is clear now...
Designed the report as like this - Cost Center Hierarchy by Cost Element Hierarchy for 12 months of data. But Business agian search in R/3 for actual cost center numbers based on above two hierarchy nodes.
I am trying to achieve this Bex instead of going back to R/3 - so that they can understand how the dollar amount is summed up on which major cost centers.
If I remove the hierarchy on Cost Center - it will display all the cost centers. They want to see the Cost center numbers based on CC and CE hierarchy node so that you are displaying only those cost centers. That's the reason I am trying to design the report with CC Hier, CE hier, Cost Center number and 12 months of data.
In my data model - have only one Cost Center, if i can create another ZCOSTCENTER same as 0COSTCENTER - May be I can achieve this. still looking for options with out changing the design.

Cant change COST CENTER GROUPS and/or Standard Hierarchy

Hello all,
im facing some problems during change of COST CENTER GROUPS and/or Standard hierarchy.
When im trying to select im getting following error Value maintenance not allowed ->Standard Hierarchy
When i do get the selection of the cost center that i want to remove from the hierarchy im getting this error Function is not supported in the standard hierarchy.
I dont know anymore what to do.
ive searched in forum and google but still didnt find enything usefull.
Regards
Laurynas Prikockis

Hello,
There is no word called removal in SAP. It would have been properly pronounced if say "Delete".
In case of delete, I do accept, there should not be any planned or actual line items during the fiscal year. If there are any actual or planned lines items you cannot delete the cost center during that period.
However, you can still delete the cost center in the next fiscal year if there are no actual or planned line items.
Hope this makes clear.
Regards,
Ravi

Check for Maintenance Cost Budgeting

Dear All,
From EHP 5, there is one button in Order create/change screen called "Check for Maintenance Cost Budgeting", but couldn't find any documentation regarding it. I want to know total functionality of that button. Can anyone help me regarding this?

From Solution Browser:
Functionality Enhancements
For critical, high-value maintenance orders, it is essential for the planner to check to see if enough budget provision is available for maintaining a technical object. Based on the results, the planner can request approval for the order and the cost controller can approve the work. The budget forecast is retracted from the maintenance cost budget. Actual utilization is calculated based on past orders and work in progress.

Reg:cost reduction reports

The issue is that, in the purchase, we have around 1000 suppliers and each supplier may supply atleast 20 to 30 materials. The management given some project to the purchase team that to bring down the cost of the materials. The team negotiated with suppliers and bring down the prices. Each and every transaction happened through SAP.
At the end of the each quarter the team has to give the report to the management that what is cost reduction has on each material and vendor. How it is possible with SAP to get the detailed reports.

Dear,
        I give you some name of report if you don't get from it then you go your ABAP developer. He will create the Z report and give you data as per your requirement.

Replacement HD reliability and speed tests

Hi,
Does anyone know if there has been a review of replacement HDs anywhere?
I want to replace my 60GB drive with a new, bigger one (running out of space) but want to read some reviews about different manufacturers reliability and comparative speed tests before I buy. - I don't want to go in blind and end up with a noisy, slow drive that crashes after 12 months!
I googled it but go nowhere after an hour!
I've read all the threads here about how to do the change and what spec to look for - thanks (very informative)
Thanks very much for your help.

Thanks - that is just the kind of thing I found - stand alone reviews by a shop.
What I am after is a comparison between competing brands - a Kind of Which? review with a 'best buy' in terms of cost per GB vs performance vs reliability. You know the sort of thing - magazines seem to do it all the time.
I know there has been much talk of 5400 vs 7200rpm - I don't need my mac to be running as fast as possible all the time, so i think that the 7200rpm HDs would be unnecessary - more expensive and I wouldn't use the extra performance.
All I need is more space, so a 160GB 5400rpm drive would be ideal I think.
Thanks
